1-0...12-11... don't care, just win baby- put the nail in the coffin. move on to the next series. i really hope tonight we are watching a hand shake, as jack edwards rants about some historical reference none of us will get! GO B'S

Was close last time with my 4-1 prediction. Tonight it's dead on - 3-2 with an EN goal to make it 4-2 Boston win. Bs go down 1-0 early on a bad goal by TT - he's due for a softy. Goals by Krejic, Marchand, and Thornton with an EN by Bergeron. All of Boston's goals are top shelf as I think Bob is weak up top.

I think the Bruins sweep. They have dominated the Flyers all year (6-0-1) and I dont see anything new happening.

Has anyone read Flyers boards? They KNOW its over. It is NOT like last year. The Bruins have a dominant team, and this series has shown it, unlike the Habs series.

I called the for the Habs all year because, A: I knew they could beat them, B: Knew it would be a good series, and C: Love the fact that 3/4 of Montreal were on suicide watch!!!!! With that said, the Habs really choked the Bruins, and I figured it would be that way. But like Ive been saying all year, look at what the Bruins have done against big, physical, top teams all year. They are NOT chump-change or lucky. They play well when they match up well. Tampa is going to be like the Habs series, except Tampa ARENT the Habs, so it should be a good series but again, the Bruins dominated them in the regular season too. They can shut down quicker teams with their dominating D and superstar goal tending. They are big, strong, fast and deep up front. Really, who CANT the Bruins beat?

I hope they can close it out tonight at home for moral and momentum reasons. If the Flyers win tonight, it means and changes nothing. I just want Boston to keep the ball rolling for their own benefit.

3-1 BOS. Lucic gets first of playoffs on the pp.Posted by dc-bruins-fan

I almost never make predictions but I expect the Flyers to play for pride and come out like gangbusters. The first period will probably decide the outcome. I am hoping Boston can score first, maybe add a second and then trap the hell out of Philly the rest of the way. Forecheck, bump and grind in the corners and finish their checks is the key. 3-1 Boston.

Let's hope the bruins come out strong. Tonight's scedule on Versus indicates why NHL management has no interest in the fans. Those of us, outside a direct feed from NESN, will be forced to catch up to the game "in progress" as VS. will start with the Detroit-San Jose game, and flip to the Bruins for " look ins". They did it last year when they totally blocked game 5 from Philly. NHL should make sure that any Primary Carrier has multiple broadcast capabilities, and uses them when faced with competing games. The technology is inherent in Satellites, so the limitations are only in the area of payoffs [ big bucks]. Yuck, I hate these jerks.
